Get close to Beauty!

I went to a seminar held by Ceci at our university. Ceci is one of the famous beauty companies in Korea. They publish their own magazine and held a lot of beauty events for young women. This event was to learn special make-up of the most famous Korean actress, Hyegyo Song, and to introduce the best Korean beauty company, Amore Pacific. As I wrote here before, I am quite interested in beauty things; so it seemed to be a good opportunity for me to know about the company and useful make-up tips.

The seminar was divided into 2sections.
First, a professional make-up artist had a beauty class. She's been working as a make-up artist over 10years. So she is mostly working with celebrities like Hyegyo Song. She was teaching us how to do make-up like Hyegyo Song because her make-up is very popular these days. In addition to this, she gave us lots of useful tips to keep our beauty with daily habits. It was worthy and reliable because of her appearance. She looks like in her late 20's, but actually she is in 40's... All students were shocked and couldn't belive it. It was flabbergasting. ;-p

Second, HR Dept. of Amore Pacific company introduced themselves and how they recruit people. Since they are by far the best domestic beauty company, now they aim to be involved in global top 7 beauty companies in the world by 2015. They are especially focusing on China, America, and france; so they prefer to have employees who are able to work in another countries. Actually I saw their products were displayed in other countries, and it seemed to be one of the popular cosmetics for foreigners. Whenever I saw that, I was so proud of that. Not only for that, I've been use their products for my whole life so that I know they make really good stuff. since I am interested in getting involved in cosmetic companies, I really want to be hired by this company. Hopefully I can be able to do like that.

Through this seminar, I could learn about various of tips that I hadn't known before. Also, it was a good time to get to know about the company that i am interested in. I am gonna try to apply for Amore Pacific and... see what will happen! ;-)

The Application Process Step by Step

I finally have my application form submitted today. Actually I’ve experienced this several times before; this time is the hardest one so far. By now, it was not a formal thing, but was informal one for getting part-time jobs. There are a couple of things you need to do in applying for companies. I am going to go over some of the process and give you useful tips.

2 steps to prepare for a job application:

1. Get your professional profile picture:

 If you are about to put any pictures of you on a resume, it would be one of the reasons to be left you off the list of applicants. You need to dress up neatly to look like a professional worker. For this, I went to a photo studio to get my profile picture. Usually, Korean female applicants go to a beauty salon to get a professional make-up & hair style. In my case, I really didn’t have enough time so that I did my make-up by myself and got hairdressing from my friend. Fortunately, it was done nicely! :) Look. How nice I look like..!

All thanks to Photoshop. XD)

2. Write a letter of introduction: know about yourself! :

A letter of introduction is the same as a cover letter. Well, there are various application forms depending on companies. Each company has their own application form, and they give you several different sections regarding your work experience, the reason why you want to work with them, and so on. To impress them, you should know about yourself. It seems to be easy, but you might get into trouble while filling out the form.

Me, myself… I did. I stayed up all night for several days to complete my cover letter. I found out that it is the most difficult thing for me to express myself by writing a cover letter. :( I want to say that the more you know who you are and what you want, the less you let things upset you. Right understanding of yourself will only help you to write a perfect cover letter. You can get some advice of people around you about this as well.


If you are done with these two steps, now you are ready to be a perfect applicant! I am sure that things will work out for the best. Good luck with your application!

Though I am not yet ready to be a good applicant and have a long way forward, I am trying to do my best as much as I can. Hopefully, I can get involved in a company I really want to work for.
I’ll go for it. Good luck for me! :)
